lump....

[drifter0069]

i tried to feed my bp a mouse last night, a small one. well it didnt want the meal. so i put the mouse in a tank to keep it until the snake is hungry. Today for some strange reason i was messin with the mouse and i noticed it has a pretty good sized lump on its back. is this safe to feed my snake? is this something i should be worried about from this pet store or is this common? there are no signs of a wound, just a lump.

mice get lots of lumps and bumps, it's safe to feed to your snake..

As was said above, mice and rats are both prone to getting cysts, but it's just fine to feed to your snake.

I wouldn't hesitate to feed an animal with a tumor or cyst to my snakes.
